[transam]

If I was in peril from any of those unts, I’d accept a backy on a push bike.

Hmmm tis a rhetorical question ( lol)

Whatever helps the RNLI is good. My friends dad died in 1981 of the coast of Cornwall.

The fund raising at the time was unbelievable by all accounts.

Let’s not use the sacrifices and dedications of the volunteers to point score.

@MoD this thread is in poor taste. I’ve reported it.

 

[Murdochcat]

Sitting on the fence here but if people put themselves in deliberate danger, I’d that really what the RNLI is for?

So you approve of the RNLI.

Indeed, let's not, but your censure should be directed at the people waving their wangers around saying that they've stopped donating to the RNLI because they don't like the people whose lives they are saving, and how they should leave them to die at sea.

@MoD this thread is in poor taste. I’ve reported it.

It's poor taste to defend the RNLI against people who think they should apply partisan politics to decide who they should bother to turn out to save?

Really?

Yes.

Just as it is with mountain rescue teams, cave rescue teams, doctors treating stroke, heart attack, diabetes, cancer, gang violence victims.

Its a shame you didn't get your favourite AI to analyse their more recent books.

Income growth of 0.7%, expenditure growth of 3.3%. '23 to '24
Legacies (the RNLI's single biggest income line, ~60% of total) actually fell — from £156.90m in 2023 to £151.30m in 2024, a drop of about 3.6%.

• Regular donations and legacies combined were essentially flat (£222.60m → £222.40m)
• spending rose steadily each year: £177.2m → £185.6m → £195.3m — up 10% over two years

The new CEO is doing a good job of repairing the damage, but he has a long way to go to turn the reputation around.

Has Nosey been using communist mathematics again, as he does with the foreign rapists?

FO

No.

I am entitled to make civil replies to what you post.

It's not I who should 'FO' if you don't like that.

 

[fillyboy]

So you approve of the RNLI.

Really?

 

[Koolpc]

Just heard, all RNLI staff to be issued with Stanley knives....

 

[noseall]

You fund raised on their behalf and have no idea how much you raised?

It wasn't a solo effort. Not even sure I was privvy to how much was eventually raised or that I even cared at the time. That lies with the bean counters.

Did you miss the objective or something?

It wasn't an auction. Every little helps.

Did you know that every time you RWR dolts announce you are recinding your donations because of right wing political whining, the RNLI donations increase?

There fore you would be a hypocrite along with the majority

Accepting assistance if my life was in danger makes me a hypocrite?

How?

 

[noseall]

if people put themselves in deliberate danger

Such as?

I am sure they were polite regarding your effort.

Did you know that every time you RWR dolts announce you are recinding your donations because of right wing political whining, the RNLI donations increase?

Proven to be untrue. It's all in their accounts. Shame you didn't do your research... again.

Since 2021, the RNLI has come under fire from the far right for rescuing migrants crossing the English Channel in small boats. HM Coastguard called the lifeboats, just as they do for any emergency. Nigel Farage sneered they were a “taxi service” for human traffickers.

The public reacted strongly. Donations jumped by 3,000%, and visits to the volunteer page rose 270% after it was revealed that volunteers had been verbally abused. In 2024, the RNLI launched 114 times to small boats, just over 1% of national call-outs, saving 58 lives, including children.

Who gains from playing British citizens off against migrants?
